This usually leads to assorted coverage varying from washing machines designed for earbuds to expert buying advice on the latest laptops.

When he's not checking out the latest devices and updating buying guides with expert advice, he can be found going for dreaded long runs, watching terrible shark movies, and trying to find time to game.
